One type of leukemia often shows symptoms, the other doesn’t.
The two types of blood cancer are more similar than the name implies.
This common form of leukemia often shows no symptoms.
“With advances in science we’re discovering new mutations all the time, and many of them are targetable.”
Some patients go years without noticing symptoms of this blood cancer.
The diagnosis depends on which blood cells are affected.
